Science web collaboration

The 'highest' of higher education are the peer reviewed Science journals. Many Scientists are now moving towards a focus on web collaboration instead. The number of journal papers published is a defining career reputation factor for most University professors. The fact that Scientists are taking their academic 'bread and butter' online strongly suggests that the open internet University idea has legs. I think it's just now entering a 'pure innovation' phase, in which all kinds of approaches are tried before a later shake out.
